Time to catch up

Dave left yesterday morning to head back to the frozen tundra of Minnesota. We treated him to some wonderful weather (mid 70's) and lots of sightseeing! It was interesting to watch his reaction to many of the things that have become "common" to us.

The only thing on his to do list when he landed was the Ryukyu Glass Works. Not surprising since glass blowing and lampworking are his side job (hobby that pays for itself!) We filled up the rest of the list with trips to beaches on each side of the island, Shuri Castle, the aquarium, Okinawa Cave, the salt factory and every restaurant we had time for! We also made Family Mart his favorite spot for a little snack :) He was very adventurous when it came to trying new foods :

Don't worry about the face he was making....apple and honey tea turned out to be pretty tasty!

Dave even got to enjoy our tradition of Blue Seal ice cream at the end of every journey.

I am glad he got a chance to visit us on Okinawa! Remember, the invitation is open to one and all!
